Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans would choose a move to Arsenal over Manchester United if recent reports are to be believed.
Tielemans, who is valued between €50million-€70million (£43million-£60million) by CIES Football Observatory, has just over 12 months remaining on his contract at the King Power Stadium and he has refused to rule out leaving the Foxes in the coming months. Speaking via The Daily Mail earlier this month, he said: "That is not out of the question.
"I feel very good at Leicester, I was welcomed with open arms from day one. I give everything for the club until the last day.

"But of course you have to listen to other opportunities, you have to look at your career, and sometimes you have to make choices. Maybe one will come my way."
Both Arsenal and United have been linked with a move for the Belgian international in recent times and transfer guru Fabrizio Romano delivered an update on the 25-year-old's future last month, claiming that the Gunners, along with two other clubs, are in the race to sign him this summer.
Writing on Twitter, Romano said: "Arsenal are still interested in Youri Tielemans, plans have not changed. He’s a target for the midfield - but it’s not an imminent deal as negotiations will take some time.
"Two other clubs are also in the race for Tielemans, he’s gonna leave Leicester this summer." Now, transfer expert Ben Jacobs has claimed that Tielemans would choose a move to north London over Manchester 'all day long.'
"Youri Tielemans will choose Arsenal over Man Utd all day long," he told The Football Terrace podcast.
